How preachers through history handled this text
14 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 106, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Those that will not wait for God's counsel, shall justly be given up to their own hearts' lusts, to walk in their own counsels. An undue desire, even for lawful things, becomes sinful. God showed his displeasure for this. He filled them with uneasiness of mind, terror of conscience, and self-reproach. Many that fare deliciously every day, and whose bodies are healthful, have leanness in their souls: no love to God, no thankfulness, no appetite for the Bread of life, and then the soul must be lean. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 106:13–33 (Public Domain)
